How do you feel about the current magic/armor penetration system?

It's been evident that RIOT's been pushing for faster paced games for a while but I feel like this change in particular has gone a bit overboard. All champions die very quickly now regardless if they have bought defensive items.
I'm just saying how I feel, I don't want to describe why because I'm too lazy.

Now, what about you guys?

I don't get it how smaller amount of gold from minions contribute to faster and more agressive gaming. And more dying.... It'll all only contribute to even more conservative game and longer farming phase. It's not on the topic, but 3v3 games already are more boring and longer.

In general RIOT's been pushing for faster games via champion fights.
I can't recall past changes, but many of them were in favor of increasing the pace of the game. Go look up some of the past patch preview videos and you'll see them talking about quickening the pace of the game.

How should I put this.... why get AP when Pantheon now deals Zyra levels of AoE damage?

But look on the bright side people! Kha'Zix/Kassadin are probably less OP now!

All in all, though, once Black Cleaver stacking gets fixed, it shouldn't be as bad (unless Cleaver/Whisper/Ghostblade/Brutalizer turns out to be silly as well). The breakpoint for true damage with just Cleaver/Lastwhisper/rune/masteries is about 115 armor. That.. doesn't strike me as "zomg end of the world." That's someone building two armor busting items, it should take two armor items to see some damage reduction happening.

4 BCs doesn't give you more stacks though, correct? The debuff only stacks up to four times, so with 4 BCs, you would simply hit that cap instantly. I mean, it reduces just about everything to zero, so AD casters are going to become insane - but the build has no crit.
